Notes
We revisit a very special Mooney Goes Wild documentary from 2015 about one of Ireland's most impressive yet least understood birds, the Common Swift. These remarkable creatures migrate to us from sub-Saharan Africa each May and remain with us for the shortest period of any migrant breeding bird, departing again in August.
